The Pope has endorsed Donald Trump for president.

A Washington, DC, pizzeria is a front for a child sex abuse ring.

George Soros will “bring down” the U.S. by funding “black hate groups.”

These are just some examples of viral stories circulated on social media recently that are completely untrue. Facebook on Thursday announced some steps it’s taking to stop the spread of such “fake news” on its huge social network.

This includes working with outside fact-checking organizations and drying up financial incentives to what it calls the “worst of the worst” spammers that traffic in made-up stories. But there are basic things news readers can do themselves to spot fake news. And if you want, you can report them to Facebook, which can flag stories for fact-checkers to evaluate. …

Yeah, that’ll work. Report antisemitism to Fakebook and you’ll get a reply that it does not violate their “community standards”.

That’s a real laugher coming from Farcebook.

Lol! Snopes checks with Soros before they post anything. Who will guard the guards?

George Soros will “bring down” the U.S.

The AP and other progs don't consider BLM to be a hate group.

Seriously, ask “Who says so?”

Some great sites, i.e. Daily Caller have horrible ads. Example, Dr. Oz, Princess Catherine, Laura Bush and Raquel Welch have all retired from their regular jobs to endorse some BS “rejuvenating face cream.”

[Olog-hai]

Until they become their victims. But that’s coming.

An AP byline is a pretty good indicator.

According to Soetoro it is always someone else's fault.

[Behind Liberal Lines]

I find one of the quickest ways to tell if something is fake news is to see if it’s from the Associated Press

Hands Up Don’t Shoot was a lie. It was fake news spread by the bigots at BLM.

FU-AssPress

Buttociated Press doesn’t consider BLM to be a source of “fake news”, either.

I flag hate speech (anti-Christian, anti-Semite, et al) on facebook and am repeatedly told that it doesn’t violate their community standards even when death threats are cast by the offending posters.

This “report it to fascistbook” thing is only going to go one way. It is a blacklisting and will not be noted in future generations by academia or Hollywood.

Something tells me that the policy would continue even if Zuckerberg himself were assailed by Muslims.

Time-Lies-Warner-HBO recently doubled down on fake news and did a bio-pic for HBO claiming that the forged National Guard memos were fake but accurate and that the scandal of the forgery was overblown (even though it was fake news by SeeBS/AP that attempted to sway the 2004 Presidential election).

[M-cubed]

FINALLY!!....”Russian's fault” will replace “Bush's fault”...the last 8 years the Russians were in charge...Who knew!!!
